I love Barbara Freethy’s work and this book was no different. This story is about Brodie McGuire and Chelsea Cole. Both of these individuals have reached stardom and have seen that taken away. Chelsea was a country singer and at the top of the charts, but she left it all behind for a specific reason/secret. She decided to return back home to heal and has taken another career path and became the music teacher at a school in her small town.
Brodie was an Olympic skier, but a horrible accident lead to him retiring from the sport. He decided to find a new career and heads to the small town where his grandfather lives and he gets hired as a policeman.
Chelsea crosses paths with Brodie after a student in her class might have clues to a unsolved case in town. They decide to work together to get more clues to the suspicious fires that are being set. However, fire isn’t the only thing that is getting hot…..
Chelsea and Brodie have their past thrown in their faces and they must figure out where their future is going as individuals and as a possible couple. I loved the suspense in this book and the HEA. Another great story by Barbara Freethy…..grab it today and enjoy
This is another great book in this series. I felt bad that Chelsea had something bad that happened to her and she didn’t fell like she could sing anymore or tell her family what happened. Especially since she has been singing and writing songs since she was a child. When I found out the reason, it was even more heartbreaking. Chelsea’s boyfriend (Austin) at the time was not even there for her. As I found more out about Austin, I did not like him much. At least Chelsea felt safe at Whisper Lake around her sister and brother.
Brodie is a heart throb that you can’t help but love. He has had his troubles in the past with crashing skiing, hurting his knee, keeping him from getting his life dream of a gold medal in skiing, and then forced to quit competitive skiing. He decided to move to Whisper Lake and be a cop like his grandfather used to be. It helps that he is close to his grandfather and he is still living in Whisper Lake.
It was funny how Chelsea and Brodie first meet. I loved that Brodie felt something for Chelsea and didn’t give up on trying to get to know her even though she threw road blocks in his way. There is an arsonist in town that has a everyone on edge. There are a couple of people that the fires really affect and brings them into the police crosshairs. I was glad that Brodie is always there to help Chelsea when she needs it. This is a great story that I strongly encourage you to read. I was given a copy of this book, and I voluntarily wrote a review to hopefully help others.
My Wildest Dream is the newest book in the Whisper Lake series. I always enjoy Barbara Freethy books because they have interesting plot lines and great love stories. This particular book has at least three different plots going on. Of course there is a wonderful love story between Chelsea, a country western singer and Brodie, a cop. But why did Chelsea give up a successful singing career. What is she hiding? And will Brodie, injured while training for Olympic ski gold, stay in Whisper Lake or go back to his first love, skiing? Then there is the problem of an arsonist setting houses on fire around Whisper Lake. All will be revealed in time. This was a very exciting book with lots of interesting storylines to follow. I really enjoyed it and felt like I knew the people described in the book.
MY..WILDEST..DREAM
Barbara..Freethy
Lady Jane a feisty cat led them to meet . Bnodie a new cop after a career as an.Olyomic.skier..Chelsea a neighbor, baby sitting the cat for two weeks.
Trying to get the cat inside, at dark of night, was challenging. For helping, a dinner offer which she refused. She was a country music,singer and now a teacher,, trying to live in a cocoon. Beautiful story taking place in Whisper Lake she was looking for healing. Brodie wanting Chelsea to step out once again.Would love bring healing to both of them, and new beginnings.
A story readers will be touched by. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
It’s really no wonder why, I anxiously await every book that Barbara writes. They never disappoint me. This new series has a cast of amazing characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. A town that is quaint and beautiful, that leads to stories that keep you captivated from page one. In this second book Chelsea and Brodie are thrown together in a great mystery with tons of suspense. Chelsea just wants to lead a quiet life after running away from her superstar life as a country music star. But, her past comes rushing back. Brodie’s dreams are dashed as a result of a horrific crash on a snowy mountain. But, together they find a different path in life that fulfills their “Wildest Dream”. A beautiful story of love and second chances to make their dreams come true. Dreams can change but, they can get better too. I also loved visiting with the other characters from the last book. Great mystery and suspense.
I am loving this Whisper Lake series. Chelsea and Brodie meet in a unique way in the middle of the night. Both have had success early in life but no longer gain pleasure from those activities. Their lives seem to “parallel” each other as they come to find out. Brodie has to work hard for Chelsea’s trust but as her past comes roaring back he becomes her go to person. This beautifully written book has the element of surprise and intrigue we have come to know from author Barbara Freethy. 5 stars for Brodie and Chelsea’s story and this new series.
My Wildest Dream by Barbara Freethy is the second book in the Whisper Lake Series but it can be read as a standalone. I was drawn right into this book and did not want to put it down or have it end. This book has it all mystery, romance, second chances and it is based in a small town. The characters are well defined very likeable and realistic. This was a nice enjoyable quick read. I highly recommend this book and series you will not be disappointed. As with all of Freethy’s books I can’t wait for the next one in this series. Thank you Barbara Freethy for the chance to read this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
Barbara Freethy has another hit with book 2 in the Whisper Lake series. Chelsea and Brodie have both known great success and fame, and both have known the hurt and disappointment when that abruptly ended. Together they find healing in each other, as they move toward overcoming old fears and defeat. Friends, family, conflict, a bit of mystery, moving forward, romance, and love. This is a captivating, heartwarming story with laughter, tears, and the enchanting town of Whisper Lake.
Chelsea Cole is trying to live a quiet life in the small town of Whisper Lake after giving up a successful country music career. She was at the height of her career when a tragedy made her give up her music career and begin a new career teaching music in an elementary school in Whisper Lake. She tells no one what made her give up her career, not even her family.
Brodie McGuire was living his dream. He was at the top of his career and was training for the Olympic Games when a devastating accident ended his chance to go for the gold. He is satisfied to be a cop in Whisper Lake.
Both Chelsea and Brodie are trying to reinvent themselves with new careers. When Brodie moves into a house across the street from Chelsea, they both feel an instant attraction.
Whisper Lake is being targeted by an arsonist. One of Chelsea’s students, a seven year old autistic boy, is drawing pictures of the fire that took place across the street from where he lives. ..a new picture every day, each one with more detail. Chelsea can’t help but think that the child saw something that night that might help solve the case.
Ms. Freethy has done it again. My Wildest Dream has just the right mix of romance and suspense to keep the reader interested from the first chapter to the final page. I found myself putting the book down because I didn’t want it to end, only to pick it back up because I had to know how it ended.
I loved everything about this book. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Visiting Whisper Lake is like coming home and reuniting with old friends. I recommend My Wildest Dream and also Book 1 of the series, Always With Me. You won’t be disappointed.
Thrown together by a night cat capture. Brodie and Chelsea each finding their way through past turmoil, find the path to their future. There is arson, stalking, romance and the HEA ending. I did have problems finishing this book, not because there is a problem with the story, but there is nothing new here. As always, Barbara Freethy, writes an excellent story. Add this one to your list.
Barbara Freethy has written another wonderful romantic suspense that is sure to please. Take a country music star that has turned her back on her career because of an unfortunate incident. Plus a world class skier that has had to switch careers due to a career ending injury. An autistic student with a secret he can’t get out. A series of crimes in the picturesque town of Whisper Lake. How will it all be resolved?
I really enjoyed the journey that Ms. Freethy took us on in this story. Brodie realizes what’s important to him & what he needs to be happy. Chelsea realizes that while her music can change lives, it’s only if the basics are in place beforehand. Her voice has the ability to make people happy, not force them to do anything they weren’t going to do first. As they continue to track down the criminal setting fires, their attraction gains its own energy. They grow closer but they don’t share everything about their past. When their pasts come calling, what will they choose?
Destiny was their greatest temptation. Who knew that heartache was on the horizon? What began as a chance encounter becomes a treacherous pathway to romance. Tragedy haunts her, regrets shadow him and passion lures them into a mystery as dangerous as their feelings for each other. Freethy captivates with a sensuous game of tainted hearts and tempting romance. My Wildest Dream is a hotbed of intriguing storytelling. Brodie and Chelsea are sure to get under your skin.
